Psychiatry patient education

All of us face challenges in our life every day. They come in the form of family obligations and relationships, work-related demands, and living in a complex and changing world.

Sometimes these challenges can create levels of stress that lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, or anger as well as other difficult thoughts and behaviors. If too strong or lasting, these experiences can disrupt our ability to adapt and function as well as we would like. The result can be emotional pain, less effective behavior, and potential damage to family, work, and social relationships.
